Brisbane Metro Selects Construction Partners

Brisbane City Council has selected Brisbane Move, a consortium comprising ACCIONA and Arup to design and build the new Brisbane Metro project.

The visionary project includes the construction of a tunnel and the redesign and upgrade of Brisbane’s Cultural Centre area. It also expands busway network capacity and reduces bus congestion in Brisbane CBD.

The project is set to create more than 2,600 jobs and assist in Queensland’s COVID-19 economic recovery. Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the new jobs would generate an “incredible flow-on effect” to the Brisbane economy.

“This is an exciting milestone in the progress of the Brisbane Metro. We have now chosen the Acciona-Arup consortium as the preferred tenderer and we will be working to have the contract finalised in the next few months” Cr Schrinner said.

Fernando Fajardo, ACCIONA Regional Director, expressed his delight at the confidence Brisbane City Council has placed in ACCIONA, and believes “the collaboration between the client and contractor will be a great benefit for the people of Brisbane, as another quality infrastructure project further advances Brisbane as one of the most liveable cities in the world.”

The Metro is expected to commence operations in 2023.
